Extremist ideological movements always fail because they hold an unshakeable belief in ideological purity that even their fellow cultists can’t live up to. Example: jihadis across the world are gradually being divided/conquered due to bickering over petty theological differences.

There are 23,000 Jihadis in the UK and we have debates on whether or not we should kill British ISIS fighters. Doesn't feel like they're failing here.

They're nowhere near their goal of turning the West into a caliphate, or even of increasing public support for their ideology. They've even failed in their attempt to sow terror. People are just getting on with their lives, shopping, going to concerts, etc.

That's an emotional appeal you're making there. Yes, it's sad what happened to them, but that doesn't mean that the jihadis are succeeding in their ultimate ideological goal of creating a Sharia utopia.

If anything, the fact that they feel desperate enough to attack kids' music concerts shows that they're utterly failing.
